COMBINED HOLDER AND FEEDING DEVICE FOR BRUSHES. U

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 24;, 1914.

Application filed August 5, 1913. Serial No. 783,064.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK Summer, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Mansfield, in the county of Richland and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Holder and Feeding Device for Brushes, of which the followingis a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in fountain brushes, and pertains more particularly to brushes, such as tooth and shaving, which are used with paste commonly provided in tubes.

The primary object of the invention is to provide means in connection with a brush whereby paste may be applied to the bristles thereof without waste of the paste.

More specifically, the invention aims to provide, in its preferred form, a casing which encircles and incloses the brush bristles, and which has means for connection with the threaded neck of a tube of paste, whereby the paste maybe fed, in regulable quantities, to the bristles.

Further, the invention aims to provide a casing which sanitary, and at all times has a supply ofpaste, enabling the casing to be easily and quickly applied to the brush bristles, and paste fed thereto, in a manner later set forth herein, in detail.

In the drawings: the figure is a side elevation of the invention partly in section.

The drawing indicates a shaving brush which may be of any type, since it forms no part of the present invention.

The invention includes a casing 1 preferably formed with a knurled portion 2, so as to permit operation without slippage in the hand of the user. As depicted in the drawings, the casing is of such size and shape as to receive the brush bristles, and to also engage over the shank S of the brush so as to hold the casing stationary relative to the brush. The outer end of the casing is open while its inner end is closed, as indicated at 3 so as to contact with the free ends of the bristles. The closed end 3 is formed with a paste inlet 4: and with an interiorly threaded outwardly projecting neck 5 which is adapted to threadedly engage the exteriorly threaded neck N of the tube of paste P, which latter is of the usual commercially known type of collapsible tube form.

In operation, the neck I of the tube of paste 1 is threaded into engagement with the neck of the casing, so as to form a connection between the two which connection is maintained until the tube is empty, whereupon a new tube filled with paste is substituted. The casing 1, is placed over the bristles and engaged with the shank S of the brush, whereupon, by squeezing the tube P, the desired amount of paste is fed to the brush bristles, after which the casing is removed from the brush.

From the above it will be evident that the invention contemplates application of tubes of shaving cream, paste or powder, or tooth cream, paste or powderto brushes, for the particular purpose mentioned, so that the substance employed can be easily, quickly, effectively, and regulably fed to the brush bristles.

What is claimed is 1. A casing for attachment to a brush and adapted to encircle and inclose the brush bristles, said casing having a paste inlet, and a separate collapsible tube containing paste attached to the casing to communicate with the paste inlet to feed a paste thereto.

2. A device of the type set forth, including a casing adapted to inclose the bristles of a brush and having a paste inlet and easing so that collapsing of the tube will feed the paste to the inlet.

3. In a device of the type set forth, a

means by which an independent tube of paste may be attached to the exterior of the casing adapted to encircle the brush bristles and having a closed end provided with an inlet, and an intcriorly threaded neck on the casing the interior of which communicates with said inlet, said neck being adapted to receive the extcriorly threaded neck of a iclparate collapsible tube of paste or the 4:.In a device of the type set forth, a casing having an inlet at one end and having its opposite end open to receive the bristles of a brush therein, the extreme portion of said open end of the casing being adapt- In testimony whereof I affix my signature ed to grip the Shani}:1 of the brush handle, in presence of two witnesses. and means by whic an independent 001- ,v lapsible tube containing paste may be at- FRANK SCHREIDT' 5 tz-xched to said first named end of the cas- Vitnesses:

ing whereby collapsing of the tube will feed JOHN H Coss, paste to said inlet LELA RITCHIE.
